Abstract Intense grazing may lead to grassland degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, but it is difficult to predict where this will occur and to quantify it. Based on a process-based ecosystem model, we define a productivity-based stocking rate threshold that induces extreme grassland degradation to assess whether and where the current grazing activity in the region is sustainable. We find that the current stocking rate is below the threshold in ~80% of grassland areas, but in 55% of th…

Abstract Peatlands cover only 3–4% of the Earth’s surface, but they store nearly 30% of global soil carbon stock. This significant carbon store is under threat as peatlands continue to be degraded at alarming rates around the world. It has prompted countries worldwide to establish regulations to conserve and reduce emissions from this carbon rich ecosystem. For example, the EU has implemented new rules that mandate sustainable management of peatlands, critical to reaching the goal of carbon n…

Abstract. Most phosphorus (P) in soils is unavailable for direct biological uptake, as it is locked within primary or secondary mineral particles, adsorbed to mineral surfaces, or immobilized inside of organic material. Deciphering the composition of different P forms in soil is critical for understanding P bioavailability and its underlying dynamics. However, widely used global estimates of different soil P forms are based on a dataset containing few measurements in which many regions or soi…

Antarctic ice shelves moderate the contribution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to global sea level rise; however, ice shelf health remains poorly constrained. Here, we present the annual mass budget of all Antarctic ice shelves from 1997 to 2021. Out of 162 ice shelves, 71 lost mass, 29 gained mass, and 62 did not change mass significantly. Of the shelves that lost mass, 68 had statistically significant negative mass trends, 48 lost more than 30% of their initial mass, and basal melting was the d…

Soil erosion is expected to increase in the future due to climate change. Soil erosion models are useful tools that can be used by decision makers and other stakeholders to deal with soil erosion problems or the implementation of soil protection measures. Most of the modelling applications are using Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)-type models. In this study, we evaluate the applicability of the Erosion Potential Model (EPM) and its modified version (mEPM) for the estimation of the gross a…

Cognitive Sensing and Navigation With Unknown OFDM Signals With Application to Terrestrial 5G and Starlink LEO Satellites
Authors: Mohammad Neinavaie, Zaher M. Kassas
Journal: IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications · DOI: 10.1109/jsac.2023.3322811 · Citations: 46
Matched topics: earth system model
A receiver architecture for cognitive sensing and navigation with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based systems is proposed. The proposed receiver enables exploiting all the transmitted periodic beacons of 5G new radio (NR) and Starlink low Earth orbit (LEO) signals to draw navigation observables. Reference signals (RSs) of modern OFDM-based systems, such as 5G NR, contain both always-on and on-demand components. These components can be unknown or known but subject to change…

Matched topics: hydrologic model, river, drought
The middle Yangtze River-Poyang Lake-catchment, China. The natural hydrological regime (HR) of the study area was altered by extreme climate conditions and human activities, leading to frequent seasonal droughts. However, the ability of the existing reservoirs and proposed hydraulic projects to restore the HR is not yet clear. A hydrological model for the middle Yangtze River was used in combination with a lake water balance model to assess the recovery degree of the Poyang Lake HR under the …
Removal of ciprofloxacin and cephalexin antibiotics in water environment by magnetic graphene oxide nanocomposites; optimization using response surface methodology

This study investigates the efficient removal of ciprofloxacin (Cip) and cephalexin (Cep) using magnetic graphene oxide (Fe3O4/GO) as an adsorbent. To this end, the magnetic nanocomposite was synthesized via a co-precipitation method. The surface and properties of the adsorbent were characterized using pHpzc, XRD, FE-SEM, FT-IR, VSM, and TEM techniques. The XRD and FT-IR results were consistent with those of previous results. The FE-SEM and TEM results of the synthesized nanoparticles were le…

Animal husbandry is increasing yearly due to the growing demand for meat and livestock products, among other reasons. To meet these demands, prophylactic antibiotics are used in the livestock industry (i.e., poultry farming) to promote health and stimulate animal growth. However, antibiotics are not fully metabolized by animals, and they are evacuated to the environment with excreta. Animal manure is used as fertilizer to reduce the volume of waste generated in the livestock sector. However, …
